President General Pervaiz Musharraf gave an interview to Sky’s Asia correspondent Alex Crawford today in response to the recent arrest of Imran Khan in Lahore, during the interview he told Sky News that “I am not a dictator, I want a democracy, the day when there is no turmoil in Pakistan, I will step down.”
The President of Pakistan also seriously felt let down by the West and by the media, to the extent that he went on to say “We may lose the battle on terror because of misreporting by some parts of the media in Pakistan and around the world.” – Sky News
Commentary: Pakistanis may be naive but not stupid to fall for such lame excuses by him to stay in power, personally I think he has lost it and it should be time for him and his supporters to realize that he seriously needs to be sent to an institution(!). All these comments by President Musharraf simply go on to reinforce our struggle for the restoration of democracy in Pakistan. Its easy for him to blame everyone else for his truckload of mistakes made over the eight year reign of power but what amuses us is his naive (or not so naive) attempt to justify his Presidency. God Bless Pakistan

“…but what amuses us is his naive (or not so naive) attempt to justify his Presidency”
Not so naive in this case, unfortunately: he is talking to US and UK, not to Pakistani people in this video. With a nice western suit, he talks quietly, he enumerates his options on his fingers. Peaceful, reassuring.
The interviwer who let him get away with it is even more repellent than him – unless this was immediately contrasted with some reality.
What he meant was:
“I am not a dictator, I want a democracy, the day when hell freezes over, I will step down. :-/
he will go TO hell very soon.
he will go hell very soon.
*PAKISTAN ZINDA BAD*
faiz khattak are you god or something?
how do you know he will go to hell
when they time comes everyone will die but you can not say if someone goes to hell or haven because thats decision is only of god not stupid people like you.
what do you know about him? nothing you people just walk after the things you see you never stand still and think woow he brought Pakistan so far oke I agree maybe he made a mistake by helping the americans to much with the war on terror. but the bomb blast are the work of those fake muslims who know how to bring anarcy in a country.
but what the hell you would’nt understand
I can also talk nasty to you but I first use my brain then my mouth maybe you must do that to
take care
